On the plus side, it's been frozen this entire time. It was bought vacuum sealed so it's never seen air, and it's premarinated.

On the minus side, I don't care to ponder how many cows have been raised and eaten since 2002. It's almost a different era - meat was cheap back then.

So I turn to you ATOT. Should I eat this meat?

Eat it

It was vacuum sealed and frozen. I don't know if it will taste good or not, but the chance of getting sick is the same as eating a brand new piece of meat.

Obligatory Weird Al lyrics:

How come you're always such a fussy young man
Don't want no Captain Crunch, don't want no Raison Bran
Well, don't you know that other kids are starving in Japan
So eat it, just eat it

Don't want to argue, I don't want to debate
Don't want to hear about what kind of food you hate
You won't get no dessert 'till you clean off your plate
So eat it

Don't you tell me you're full
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it
Just eat it, eat it, just eat it, eat it, ooh

Your table manners are some cryin' shame
You're playin' with your food, this ain't some kind of game
Now, if you starve to death, you'll just have yourself to blame
So eat it, just eat it

You better listen, better do what you're told
You haven't even touched your tuna casserole
You better chow down or it's gonna get cold
So eat it

I don't care if you're full
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Open up your mouth and feed it
Have some more yogurt, have some more spam
It doesn't matter it it's fresh or canned
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

Eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
If it's gettin' cold, reheat it
Have a big dinner, have a light snack
If you don't like it, you can't send it back
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Get yourself an egg and beat it (oh lord)
Have some more chicken, have some more pie
It doesn't matter if it's boiled or fried
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it
Don't you make me repeat it (oh no)
Have a banana, have a whole bunch
It doesn't matter what you had for lunch
Just eat it, eat it, eat it, eat it

It's marinated? o_O
It would depend on your mood more than anything else I think. One day i might be to horified to try it out, but on other days I would be more adventurous.

I'm working late shift but I'll post some pics when I get home.

I'm doing this for curiosity's sake. I doubt it'll kill me, but it probably won't taste as good as a fresh one.

The armed services spend a great deal of money developing foods with longer shelf lives. As of now there is NO method of preservation that retains significant food value i.e. nutrition for 4 years. In other words, the tri-tip now has the nutritional content of cardboard. It won't harm you and it won't feed you.
